• Contour Lines


  Lines on a map that show the height and structure of an area.
• Heights


  The height of a feature on a map, measured by contour lines.
• Compass Directions


  The direction a map points to in real-life, determined by lines on a map.
• Grid References


  A system used to give a precise location on a map by assigning a set of coordinates (Eastings and Northings) to a specific point on the map.
• Grid References


  A system used to give a precise location on a map by assigning a set of coordinates (Easting and Northing) to a specific point.
• Renewable Energy Sources


  Energy sources that can be replenished naturally, such as solar, hydro, wind, and tidal energy.
• Solar Energy


  Energy from the sun, converted into electricity using photovoltaic panels or concentrated sunlight.
• Wind Energy


  Energy from wind, converted into electricity using wind turbines.
• Non-Renewable Energy Sources


  Energy sources that cannot be replenished, such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
• Use Grid References


  Use grid references to pinpoint the exact location on the map by reading the coordinates (Easting and Northing).
• Measure Angles


  Measure the angle between two lines or features on the map using a protractor.
• Measure Distances


  Measure the distance between two points on the map using a ruler.
• Draw and Label


  Draw and label key features on the map using a pen or pencil.
